David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
荒诞喜剧的框架严重限制了制约了影片的上限，各种的梗都很陈旧或者说都是所谓演技派电影里一定会出现的那种，虽然有些构图和那场音效戏还算有想法但整体的文本太过平庸包括最后的反转实在是老套的紧，可以说完全是靠着三位主演的发挥撑下来的
真的是“肉眼可见”的演技了。精心编排下的喜剧爽片，回归讲故事本身，太有意思
日本风格影片，深层剖析人物内心复杂情感，每一个所呈现外在形象，其实并不是真正的自我，看似不可理喻的人，也有其温存善良一面，要试着理解过去所不理解的人和事。
2.5，讽刺的内容完全可以讽刺这部片子的制作。
不自信的花音默默地在学校里承受，又默默地用对抗发泄情绪，最终酿成惨剧。家庭之间更良好的沟通显然非常重要。将自信黑成恶意的形容词，是多么不良的动态呀。人为什么不能勇敢地相信自己呢？
碎奖杯那里真的看乐了，金球奖杯都不配被碎掉是吗哈哈哈讽刺得也挺好挺幽默
真难受 人死后才意识到该去了解她 失去了才意识到暴戾的外表隐藏不住脆弱的内心 和摒弃不掉的人性善意 他们感受同一片云 画下同一片云 再怎么疏离也终为父女 父亲也在这一刻终于流泪 被牵扯的所有人都是无罪的犯人 每个父母都有对自己孩子避重就轻的维护与无需缘由对错的承担 父亲向前妻道歉 母亲为自杀的女儿赎罪 路人对店长说你辛苦了 后面父亲终于展现出脆弱和自责 实在让人控制不住的流眼泪 至少结局让人重拾希望 原声配乐也非常非常好听 日本人在某方面真的压抑 包括也在隐晦海洋垃圾污染和环保意识 没办法了 生活还是得加油的渡过
一个带讽刺意味的故事，但展示的内容和尺度显得小儿科，讽刺的力度亦不大，全靠出色的演员撑着场子。两星。
死掉以後也想住在屋頂牛奶形狀的房子里。
一次意外引发的悲剧，媒体效应可以和堤幸彦的《希望》比较着看
制片人要抱艺术的大腿，倒也不坏，他们心中拍电影就像建一座桥，只要拿到冠名权便有机会永垂不朽，至于自己对艺术的一无所知，“对不起，我没读过一本书”，并不觉得羞耻；各位导演，尤其是有几分天份、又拿过电影节最高奖的知名导演，总是会吸引到金钱的注意，金钱又总与权力勾结，自然行使其权力也毫不掩饰，对演员的生杀予夺，既傲慢、又残忍，每一句训导都免不了言辞间的洋洋得意，对这样的佩内洛普克鲁兹真的不一定爱得起来，“要保持艺术家的活力，最好连孩子都不要生，会是拖累”；演员们则更是斯文扫地，不仅相互评判彼此的演技，还要对各自的价值观、生活方式讥讽一番。学院派嫉妒偶像派的高票房，除了指责生活作风不良，还要冠一个“迎合观众”的罪名；偶像派则用迟到来摆架子，还试图飙演技，极尽奢糜与粗俗之能事。似乎都不是什么好货色。
但无论结局超市关门大吉，老板去从事苦力，依然改变不了发生的惨剧……
激赏的还是题材，一个情绪化的父亲痛失“爱女”，迁怒于所有涉及到的人，连带出了更多人生的悲剧。电影敢于表达最情绪的事件，需要深度理解社会心理，演员的压力也很大吧，因为几乎可以感觉得到剧中人物的战栗。
中间有些地方能带人笑死，有些地方有点无聊，但是总体来说还是很好看的！
说讽刺艺术圈 还不如说讽刺当今的社会现象 可是又有什么错呢？资方功成名就以后用自己的钱投资电影 满足自己的一种心理需求而已 导演粉碎了奖杯 也可以理解为抛弃过去成就 对当下作品的决心和认真态度 每一个当下都应该全力以赴 不应该活在过去的成就里才能更好的创作不是么 首先一个人先偏激的语言重伤 愤怒以后失手推搡 哪来无缘无故的争纷呢 各行各业同阶层的每个人都在奋力的竞争着 掌权者乐意见到如此 掌权者保持着平衡让自己的不被夺去光芒 也是另外一种竞争 最后导演讲没想过 那么以前发生的事情有什么好去假设的 哪一个时代的残酷的呢 说讽刺演艺圈还不如说讽刺人性来的更妥帖一些
最近几部日本电影都在反思社交媒体放大的恶和人与人之间难以理解、信任带来的悲剧。这部电影前半段差点压抑到让我想弃掉，幸亏坚持到结尾，至少导演最后还是让一点点善意变成了救赎的可能，人们没有疯狂到底，仇恨被踩了刹车，虽然明知这也可能是虚构出来牵强的回转，但此时此地的我却为此会心一笑。一切都不是是毫无意义的空白吧。
#2021年威尼斯主竞赛；黑色幽默，表演出彩，几处声音设计很棒，巨大空旷的空间结构也用得很不错。
在学校在家里都找不到认同感和价值感的女儿，在超市偷东西的时候，已经想要打破这种悲哀的生活了，车开过来的时候她没有闪躲，而是闭上了眼。然而她死后，还是没人能真正懂她，暴躁的父亲，被追究的可怜的超市小哥，大家都被卷入这个追责事件里，不断被追究到底是谁害死了女孩。是谁啊。是这个社会，是构成这个压抑社会的每一分子
#TIFF21，实在钛好笑了~用金属粉碎机把金棕榈和银狮奖碎成渣那段太魔幻了！这两个导演在《杰出公民》之后再度联手的一部喜剧，片子里面有不少这两个导演前作的元素和道具，今天TIFF看的片子里笑的次数最多的一部，充满讽刺的一部解构类喜剧，把社会权力刨开进行解构再重组就很好笑，如同用刀划开伤口再去缝合。克鲁兹演的真好！另外两个影帝飙戏也很爽！
父亲以为自己爱女儿，但不曾了解过女儿的爱好。超市店长做了对的事情，但一直活在愧疚中。肇事女司机或许是家庭的原因，明明是无意的，但自责到自杀。肇事男司机只是说了几句，撇清责任后就继续生活。媒体只要像豺狼一样伺机而动，胡说八道一翻就能左右别人的判断，当有新的热点后就快速的失忆……所有人都很苦，生者和活者。像我理解的日本这个民族一样的，所有人都像被困在牢笼里，渴望有一天自己能和自己和解。
